Team Liquid vs Gambit Esports

Liquid ranked #8 from North America is clashing against Gambit ranked #11 from Kazakhstan in the tournament called IEM Katowice 2018 who has 16 teams competing for a grand prize pool of $500,000.

This is a LAN tournament.

This match is in three days, but the stats for now are:

Liquid performs well on Cache, Cobble, and Inferno with over 60% win rate.

Gambit plays well on Dust2, Inferno, and Overpass also with over 60% win rate.

Pistol performance goes to Liquid who have 51,1% over Gambit's 45,7%.

If we look at the last five LAN Bo1 games, Liquid has won two times and lost three times to opponent far lower tier than them. Gambit has also won only two times and lost three, but all games have been very close.

Truth be told Liquid has progressed their play form with winning most of their Bo3 games, while Gambit has a 50% win/loss ratio.

Since this is a Bo1 game, anything can happen. But the winner of this match goes to play against the winner of Tyloo vs Cloud9.

Cloud9 will probably win and Liquid has won against them last time they met, while Gambit has lost.

This is really a coin flip match, Gambit will have a better crowd on their side, but Liquid has good form looking at the last games played.

So i will go with a low bet on Liquid.

Good luck to all who play!
